.........Ok about me... I'm now 43 years old living in Oscoda, Mi. I started playing when I was 8. I've always played Ludwig drums I owned the big 11 pcs blue vistalite kit back in 82-84 how I loved that kit unfortunately I had to sell them but within weeks I bought the drums that I own today and play a lot. They have held up as good or if not better than some wooden drumsets that I have seen over the years. I take very good care of my babies just as they've taken care of me and there are no extra holes or cracks in them. I kinda down sized a bit to save space. I don't use the one kick drum there's a few other toys I don't use. This is an all number matching drum set too. Believe it or not the numbers are in sequence. I do admit they are some what hard to get the right sound out of but once you play them you're hooked 23 years later I still wouldn't give these up. I've used these to open up for bands such as Bachman Turner Overdrive, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Oak Arkansas, and Black & Blue. They have way too many miles on them and some day I may retire them. Perhaps just display them in a nice safe place and maybe play once in a while. I'd probably just get another set of vistalites to replace them with though. Well I hope the pics are good enough for you and if they are I can't wait to see 'em on your site. Thanks and keep on playing cause without drums...... music has no back bone.

Just for fun Mark sent in a couple 'o' pix of his old blue Vistas. I'm guessing that's Mark in action way back when.
